Knowsley Safari Park is celebrating the birth of its first ever female white rhino.
Binta, who was born last Friday, follows a rash of male rhino calves at the Safari Park this year.
Mother Piglet will look after Binta indoors during the winter, but visitors should be able to catch a glimpse of her when the weather warms up later next year.
The name "Binta", given her by keepers, is a West African word meaning, "with God's blessing".
